Description

This lecture introduces the Flory approximation, a method used to analyze the behavior of polymer chains. The instructor explains the concept of excluded volume and its impact on the chain's conformation. By examining the probability of different states, the lecture demonstrates how the Flory approximation provides insights into the behavior of polymer chains in various dimensions. The discussion covers the significance of excluded volume in determining the chain's structure and the conditions under which the Flory approximation is valid.
